Abstract
A waste compactor to compact waste for disposal in a waste container includes a compaction chamber for receiving waste to be compacted and a closure assembly configured to seal a first opening during a compaction mode. There is a ram assembly in the compaction chamber and an actuator to move the ram assembly from a retracted position toward an extended position which compacts the waste against the closure assembly. There is a plurality of apertures in an internal surface of the compaction chamber where liquid and residual solid waste exit through the apertures during the compaction mode. There is a collection system to collect liquid and residual solid waste, which includes a filter unit. The filter unit has a first end and a second end, the second end includes an opening in communication with the compaction chamber. And, there is an evaporation system to evaporate the liquid.
